Xiao Bai was already happily eating the meat slices: "Oh, it's really delicious, springy and soft at the same time!"
Nini also tried to take a bite: "Well, it is indeed... very elastic, but not so elastic that it can't be broken. The mushroom man gave me something very good."
"Why do the mushroom people know that this thing is delicious?" Elizabeth asked puzzledly while eating, "I don't think they need to eat."
The mushroom man standing guard next to the rescue team spoke up: "We actually eat, too. We mainly eat fungi and lichens."
Xiaobai: "But you also have fungi and lichens growing on your bodies. Do you scrape things off your body and eat them?"
"That's right." The mushroom man replied.
Wang: "What's so strange about this? Sometimes I also..."
"Hey, stop talking!" Xiaobai waved his hands vigorously, "I don't want to listen."
Wang was about to say something when he heard music.
I don’t know where in the mushroom village, the mushroom people are singing softly.
The mushroom people surrounding the salvation team also started to sing along, and the melodious singing enveloped everyone in an instant.
Flint sighed as he turned the iron picks on the grill: "It's so nice. It's a melody that will make Kailin happy."
Wang: "Doesn't Kailin still have the authority over music? He should like all melodies, right?"
"No," the dwarf shook his head. "Kaelin is very strict about music. As for wine, anything is fine, as long as it can make people drunk. Kaelin particularly dislikes lascivious music, but this...Kaelin's horn, he will definitely like it."
Wang looked up and found that dots of fluorescent light were slowly rising into the sky, forming a flowing galaxy in the air.
Elizabeth: “That’s great!”
Franka: "Is this the starry sky?"
Wang: "No, no, this is the Milky Way. The starry sky is wider than this. The whole sky will be filled with stars."
Franka's color turned into a yellow-green color mixed with curiosity and anticipation: "Great, I can't wait to see the real starry sky."
Marika: "There is still sunshine and blue sky on the ground. When I was very young, I first went to the ground and looked up at the blue sky and was in a trance. Then I asked our leader, 'Did someone spill paint?'"
The members of the rescue team looked at Zhuo Er in horror.
Even the king looked horrified.
Marika: “What are you doing?”
Elizabeth tried to smooth things over and pushed the topic forward: "What did the captain say?"
"The captain slapped me in the face and said, 'Everyone's target is to be a forest elf. If you fail to complete it, you will not have food to eat. If you die, you deserve it. No one will collect your bodies.'"
Nini frowned: "This is too... terrible."
"They are evil drow after all." Flint waved his hand.
Nini asked again: "Did you kill many forest elves?"
"Yes, a lot." Marika looked at Nini, "So many that it's reasonable for you to seek revenge on me. How about it, do you want to come?"
Nini pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment and said, "I will consider this after I complete the mission of saving the world. Now, we need your skills as a wanderer."
Xiaobai looked at Nini and said, "Your remarks sound like something a conscientious person would say."
Wang: "This is called shelving disputes and jointly developing. It is a wisdom from another dimension."
"Wisdom?" Nini said thoughtfully, "I don't know if it's because I put on the Wisdom Locking Headband, but I seem to have figured out a lot of things all of a sudden. In the past, I always avoided the question of the drow's identity and avoided thinking about her past. But now... I seem to be able to face her directly."
"You've definitely gotten smarter," Flint said.
Marika: "Then I'll wait for you to drive an arrow through my forehead."
Wang: "Eat quickly, then go to sleep. The song of the mushroom people can be used as a lullaby tonight. This is not something you can encounter normally."
Elizabeth smiled and said, "Yes, that's the benefit of traveling."
**
The next day, after completing their preparations, the rescue team set out towards the hole created by the dimensional shock.
The group found the cave entrance without much effort. Nini stood on the stone and used her ears to feel the wind: "Yes, it is indeed the wind coming from the ground. The cave entrance is not small, so we should be able to pass through smoothly."
Wang: "Don't be so sure. There might be cliffs or something. Then we'll have to rely on Xiaobai and Franca."
Franka: "I'll bring the rope up!"
Xiaobai: "Why don't you turn into a dragon and carry everyone up?"
"Because there may be places where dragons can't pass, idiot!" Wang knocked on Xiaobai's head, "Let's go, let's go!"
Gotrik shouted in response to the king's command, "Ooooh!"
Flint took out a hiking shovel, stuck it into the ground, and pulled himself up the steep road. "The Underdark is behind us, and the surface world is in front of us!"
364. It’s time to end each volume again
It's time for the end of each volume again.
The Underdark is now complete, and this time it’s finally an all-underground adventure!
The only drawback is that it's too much like a running record...it really is...so the next volume might have more farming and fighting.
After all, because of some things that happened recently, some people said that I should cut this book. That’s not true. The adventure is only halfway through.
You can guess how much content there is by looking at the number of rings the protagonist has. He has five rings now, right?
I plan to wait for him to reach the ninth ring, and use the Great Wish as the key to the final reversal.
Well, see you in the next volume later!
Chapter 352: Reunion with an Old Friend
That night, the rescue team finally saw the stars.
"Fuck!" Xiao Bai yelled, "It's so blinding!"
"Don't pretend," Wang patted her head, "It's not that dazzling."
"It will create a better atmosphere this way." Xiaobai pouted.
Nini pointed into the distance: "The floating island is over there. It looks... uh, very bright."
Everyone looked in the direction she pointed. Elizabeth nodded, "It's really bright. What's going on? Is it on fire?"
"No," Nini shook her head, "it's just white."
The king took out the voice stone: "Rosalie Rosalie! Please answer!"
The sound stone did not respond.
Wang: "Rosalie Rosalie?"
Finally, a voice came from the talking stone: "Hello? Are you guys coming up?"
When they set out in the morning, the king used the voice stone to inform Rosalie that they would start heading towards the ground today, but because he didn't know how long the road was, the king didn't say how long it would take.
Wang: "Lily? Where's Rosalie?"
"She is dealing with the conflict between the Lancelot Church and the dwarf master craftsman. Just now the dwarf caused an explosion, and the flying dwarf blew off the church spire. Now the priests refuse to resurrect the dwarf. Let me tell you, every day on this island is so interesting!"
Wang Fu'er, this kind of fun is not a good thing!
Wang: "By the way, we saw a bright light on the floating island on the ground. What is it?"
"Oh, I taught the dwarves how to make incandescent lamps. At first, there were no suitable materials, but finally the dwarfs' great alchemist made the filament, and then it began to spread at the speed of light!"
Wang frowned: "Alchemist? Why do I remember that there were no dwarves of this style when we went underground?"
"They just came from the Thorn Islands. Now there is at least one shipload of dwarves arriving every day. These little creatures are so curious and so cute."
Lily said excitedly.
Xiao Bai muttered nearby: "It's over. With so many dwarfs, there will definitely be explosions and flying scenes every day. Maybe several people will be killed every day."
Being smashed to death by a flying dwarf or something...
As soon as Xiaobai finished speaking, a loud noise came from the talking stone.
A few seconds later, there was a sound like muffled thunder in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the bright light that could be seen from this location on the floating island completely disappeared.
Wang approached the sound stone and said, "I saw the light disappear. What happened?"
"I don't know what exploded. It happens several times every night as normal. No, it should be said that it also happens several times during the day.
"Although I taught the dwarfs how to make fuses, they have too little experience in using electricity. The power of electrical appliances is erratic, and the fuses always blow. Basically, if an appliance explodes, the fuse will blow."
Wang sighed: "Well, no matter what, we are here. You can send an airship or something to pick us up. We are now on the island..."
Wang looked up at the constellations and immediately determined the location: "It's in the southwest of the island. Come quickly."
Xiaobai looked up at the starry sky and asked, "Can this tell the direction?"
Wang: "First of all, I know it is winter now, and I also know the approximate date. So I definitely know what the starry sky looks like, so is there anything strange about that?"
"It's very strange!" Xiao Bai shouted, "I can only tell the direction so quickly when I turn into a pigeon. Otherwise, I can only look at the sun and the moon."
Today is a moonless day.
Franka: "What is the moon?"
Wang: "A satellite."
Lily in the Sounding Stone: "Wait a minute, I've asked for an airship to go find you. It'll be here soon."
Wang: "Okay, we'll light a bonfire on the ground to show you the way."
"The bonfire may not be enough. We can light a bigger fire." Flint took out an iron bucket and threw a piece of unknown grease into it. "This is the grease of the Aboleth. I managed to save some of it."
Wang: "Very good, let's make a fire."
**
Twenty minutes later, the airship from the floating island arrived.
Lily jumped off the airship and landed slowly on the ground: "King!"
